…and IO81, 82, 84, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93 & 94.

Clearly, the easiest square to activate from on 2m FM, going by my list, is IO82. Good news for you Walt.

What are “cesspit frequencies” please?

Frequencies renowned for the regular trolls encamped on them. e.g. 14.195 and IT9RYH , though it’s a while since he was active.

Frequencies regularly occupied by people who indulge in foul-mouthed rants or nets apparently devoted to drunken banter. They are more of a problem on the other side of the Atlantic but we get them here, too.

M1DCG in Stoke-on-Trent is providing such a one-man show here on an almost daily basis, on 145.500MHz at present.
